What happens during the clean up of a Superfund site?

TOXMAP - Frequently Asked Questions

The EPA then registers the information in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS), an electronic record of sites affected by potentially hazardous substances. Record of Decision (ROD)- explains which cleanup alternatives will be used to clean up a Superfund site.

How can I find out who is responsible for the clean up of a Superfund site?

TOXMAP - Frequently Asked Questions
Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) of Superfund sites are current or former owners or operators of a facility, transporters of a hazardous substance who chose the site for disposal, or agents who coordinate treatment or disposal of hazardous substances at the site. Identifying the PRPs for clean up of a site is an EPA priority. Sometimes the PRP is unwilling or unable to assume responsibility, or the PRP cannot be found.

Wasting Away - The Center for Public Integrity
A Superfund site is a toxic waste site that falls under the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund program. After public awareness grew about heavily polluted areas like Love Canal, Congress passed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (also known as Superfund law) in 1980. Under the law, companies and other parties found responsible for polluting sites are required to clean up the area or pay the costs for cleanup to the EPA.

Why was the Lowry Landfill declared a Superfund site?

faq
In 1984, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the landfill on its National Priorities List (NPL) of sites to be addressed under the federal remediation program known as Superfund. The listing was due to groundwater contamination that resulted from the legal disposal at the site of municipal waste and an estimated 138 million gallons of liquid waste, and to the potential for that contamination to migrate off the site.

How does the NPL compare?

Netscape Public License FAQ
The NPL and MozPL both attempt to strike a middle ground between promoting free source development by commercial enterprises and protecting free source developers. Like the GPL, they require that any and all changes to code covered by the license must be made publicly available. However, they also allow you to combine covered code with other code to create a larger work without requiring that other code to be covered by the license. This is similar to, but even less restrictive, than the LGPL.

If there are two licenses, why would I want to use NPL?

Netscape Public License FAQ
If you are making a "Modification", you are required to. If you are contributing new code and not a modification to existing code, then the choice between the NPL and another license, such as the MozPL, is up to you. If you are comfortable with the rights that the NPL grants to Netscape, then by all means feel free to use it.
Related Questions

Will the NPL apply to Netscape as well?

Netscape Public License FAQ
When Netscape uses code created under the NPL, it must comply with the NPL. However, under the NPL, Netscape, as the Initial Developer, has unique rights that allow it to use code in ways that others cannot. This was necessary because (1) the code is part of an existing product line, and (2) Netscape has a number of pre-existing contracts to supply source code with which it must be able to comply.

Waste Treatment Solidification Stabilization Frequently Aske...
EPA’s goal for a Superfund site is to select a remedy that is protective of human health and the environment, one that maintains protection over time, and that minimizes un-treated waste.

EPA considers S/S to be an established treatment technology.

Why don't you just release the source under both the NPL and the GPL right from the start?

Netscape Public License FAQ
The NPL and GPL are incompatible, as we explain in the question about using code covered by the GPL with code covered by the NPL. If we were to take this tack, we would cause an immediate and irreparable split in development on the Mozilla code base. This split would greatly minimize the benefit that Netscape would see from free source development, and because of this, the company is not able to consider releasing its code under the GPL.

Netscape Public License FAQ
First of all, let us reiterate that any alternate licensing only applies to code covered by the NPL, not the MozPL. Netscape has entered into license agreements for its source code in the past. Several of these agreements continue to be in effect, and we are contractually bound to service them.
